Can you share more about your use case?

[BedBug2479]

I have enabled privacy mode in settings so that it doesnot show any recent folders

While i right click Win Explorer in task bar there are no recent folders

But when I right click Files there is no pinned folders but it shows all the recent folders that i opened

\It should only show pinned folder or not even pinned when privacy mode is enabled

To be clear, I understand what the request is asking for, but I'm not so clear about the use case for such a setting. Can you help clarify how this feature will improve the experience for you?

Recents show hidden folders as well which is not good

like Program Data in C is hidden but still it shows in Recents

If i want to hide something in the drive then still it is visible so what is the use of even hiding it

I thought you were asking for a feature to turn off the jump list all together, but I might have misunderstood, is that what you meant, or are you requesting that the jump list simply filter out hidden folders?

I want it to turn off jump list all together; but if just hidden folders can be removed from the list then that also is good

i never thought in that way

Thank you for your response. We'll need some time to consider this further, but it seems reasonable that the jump list should filter out hidden folders, provided the setting to show hidden folders is disabled.
